We visited the Maharajah's Palace in Mysore yesterday. It was gorgeous. Giant grounds with gardens and Hindu temples. We got to go inside but they have a strict no photography policy. This palace was built in 1912 after the original palace burned down. The royal family lived in it until India gained independence in 1947.
This is the front of the palace, facing east. Imagine the Raj leaving this entrance atop an elephant with hundreds of guards to greet his public.
This is the Raj's Hundai.
This is a Hindu temple behind me.
What's up next: Jeff and I are heading to the beach for a little rest and relaxation. We're going to Gokarna, a small beach town just south of Goa on the western coast.
Are you guys going to the Malabar Coast at all? If you do, give us a coffee report. One of my favorite coffees that we have had is Monsooned Malabar from that region ; )
